Reviews
The service was exceptional. Our server was not only attentive but genuinely engaged. Every question we had about the menu was answered with enthusiasm and deep knowledge. You could tell they truly understood the dishes and cared about guiding us toward the best experience possible. The pacing of the meal was also spot-on we never felt rushed, yet everything arrived seamlessly.
Now, the food. Absolutely outstanding.
We began with the shrimp starter, which immediately set the tone for the evening. The shrimp were cooked perfectly tender with just the right snap and layered with flavors that felt both vibrant and balanced. The salad that accompanied the dish wasn’t an afterthought; it complemented the shrimp beautifully, adding freshness and texture that elevated the entire plate.
The seasonal dip was one of the biggest surprises of the night. It’s amazing what the chefs can do with fresh vegetables. What could have been a simple starter was transformed into something creative and memorable beautifully presented, deeply flavorful, and genuinely impressive. It felt inventive without being pretentious, which is a rare balance.
The crispy chicken with collard green sauce was another star of the meal. The chicken itself was golden and perfectly crisp on the outside while remaining juicy and tender inside. The collard green sauce added depth and a slight earthiness that tied everything together in such a thoughtful way. The flavors complemented each other effortlessly each bite was comforting yet elevated.
The drinks were just as carefully crafted. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his Old Fashioned smooth, balanced, and expertly made. I tried both mocktails on the menu, and they were equally impressive. They weren’t overly sweet like many non-alcoholic options tend to be instead, they were complex, refreshing, and clearly given just as much attention as the cocktails.
What truly sets Harvest apart is how everything comes together the ambiance, the attentive and knowledgeable service, and food that feels both seasonal and inspired. It’s rare to leave a restaurant already planning your next visit, but that’s exactly how we felt.
This place has absolutely earned a spot at the top of our list, and I can’t wait to return.
We got seated quickly when we arrived, but it took over 20 minutes until I asked another waiter “Sorry to bother, do you know who our waiter is?”. Luckily, soon after that we were able to get our orders in and the food came out promptly and well paced.
We chose the 6 Oysters, Chicken Fried Steak, and the Ribeye.
The oysters were dissapointing to us, but we don’t usually order them at restaurants. It was just barely any meat, flavorful though, and pieces of shell were getting in our bites.
Once the mains came out, we were very happy. The chicken fried steak was very good on a nice bed of mash and topped with a delicious pepper gravy.
My ribeye came perfectly cooked to my liking and that went to the clean plate club. Every bit of the dish was delicious and went together very well.
After our entrees, a manager came by and apologized for the slow service. We were both surprised as we didn’t complain to anyone, but we were very happy they noticed.
We understand things like that happen and we weren’t mad or anything, but service like that is always appreciated!
We would definitely recommend coming here for any occasion! Reservations definitely make it easier.
The service was incredible — welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable. The drinks were unique and delicious, the kind that make you want to try something new just because they do it so well.
What makes Harvest especially fun is the three-story layout, each level offering a different vibe.
• The first floor is perfect for regular dining.
• The second floor gives you a closer look at the action with the chef’s table experience.
• We chose the third floor, which has more of a bar/lounge feel, complete with live music. The band was fantastic and added the perfect atmosphere for a relaxed night out.
If you’re looking for a place to unwind with great food, great drinks, and great company, I highly recommend stopping by Harvest. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy the season, connect with friends, and make some memories.
Came here last night for a friend’s birthday and left genuinely confused by the current 4.7 rating. The manager on duty was extremely accommodating and kept coming by to apologize and try to fix things, and I want to give her real credit for that. But the number of issues we had in one visit was hard to ignore.
We were seated on the third floor. The vibe up there was a bit odd. Very dark green, minimal Masonic decor, and it felt more like an unfinished lounge than a polished dining space. The band was decent and did keep the room lively, which was a plus & The drinks were really good!
Now the food/service problems:
Oysters: Very disappointing. We didn’t realize until after ordering that they were farm-raised (menu note), which is on us but the bigger issue was the quality. Several shells barely had any oyster in them, and overall they tasted off. They also weren’t as cold as you’d expect oysters to be. The manager tried to make it right by bringing additional ones, but we ended up giving them back because they were still not good.
Table: Our table was lopsided, to the point our drinks were literally sliding/spilling while we were eating. Staff did come by to fix it, but it’s not something you expect to deal with at a place with this many high reviews.
Ribeye: We were told 4–5 times that the ribeye was “the best thing on the menu,” so we ordered it. Honestly, it was one of the most disappointing ribeyes I’ve ever had. It came pre-cut into very thick slices, and THE STEAK HAD ZERO JUICE OR TASTE, lacked flavor, and had a lot of fat. We ordered medium, but it arrived VERY medium-rare, with some pieces closer to rare/blue. When we brought it to their attention, we were told that was “their version of medium.” The manager offered to take it off, but after so many issues already we just kept it and my wife didn’t eat it because of the flavor and the way it was cut (she prefers to slice her own thin).
Chicken fried steak: I also ordered the chicken fried steak. The mashed potatoes actually had good flavor (which ended up being most of what I ate), but the chicken fried steak itself was rough. There were a lot of breaded sections with little to no steak, and the pieces that did have meat were gristly/tough to the point I had to spit a few bites into a napkin and eventually just stopped eating it.
Getting sick: The biggest issue is that both my wife and I got sick. We started feeling it before we even left, felt worse when we got home, and we’re still sick the next day (today) with stomach pain, and we strongly believe it was the oysters.
I really wanted to love this place, and I appreciate how hard the manager tried. But if you come here, just know the experience may not match the rating and if you’re coming for oysters or the ribeye, set expectations accordingly.
The service is always attentive without being intrusive, and the staff genuinely seem happy to be there, which makes the whole experience even better. The food continues to be the highlight. Every dish is fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and beautifully presented. The flavors strike that perfect balance of comforting yet elevated, and even the cocktails and mocktails are crafted with impressive attention to detail. Another thing I appreciate is the pace of the meal never rushed, never slow, just the right flow that lets you truly enjoy your evening. I’ll definitely keep coming back. Harvest at the Masonic is a gem, and it’s quickly becoming my go-to spot for a delicious, memorable dining experience.
